Basil Paterson was my friend. In addition to being a great leader, he was a warm and gracious person – and he set that example for everyone in public life. He was a fine lawyer as well, very eloquent, and an incredible champion for the working people of our city. My condolences go out to his family. I will miss him.
Letter to Boingo RE - Free Wifi
I support Councilmember Margaret Chin's bill (Intro 243) to increase the eligibility cap for SCRIE eligibility from $29,000 to $50,000, and I'm grateful for the efforts of Manhattan Assembly Member Brian Kavanagh for his tireless efforts in getting this passed in Albany, and for Gov. Cuomo in agreeing to have the state pay for the first two years of newly-eligible seniors.
The SCRIE (Senior Citizen Rent Increase Exemption) Program will now protect thousands of additional tenants, who are already paying at least a third of their income in rent, from additional increases. According to state estimates, approximately 24,000 NYC seniors will now be able to receive the benefit-- about one-third of them in Manhattan.
In a city as expensive as ours, programs like this help keep senior New Yorkers in their homes.
I'll be working to extend a similar increase in the Disabled Rent Increase Exemption (DRIE) program. Those tenants, most of who are on fixed incomes, also desperately need this kind of help to remain in their homes.
First introduced by Brewer, law extends City's Human Rights Law to protect interns from harassment
In more than 30 years of public service, I have sponsored over 1,000 interns in my career and they work as hard as many full-time employees I've seen. Interns deserve equal protection under the law, and this legislation does just that, extending the City's Human Rights Law to include unpaid interns. I'm delighted that the Council, under the leadership of Speaker Mark-Viverito, passed this legislation and that Mayor de Blasio is signing it today. (April 15)
(Below: Interns from the Manhattan Borough President's Office attend the bill signing)
Agree to examine long-term changes to City's homeless policy
Manhattan Borough President Gale A. Brewer and New York City Comptroller Scott M. Stringer on April 14 announced an agreement with New York City Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services Lilliam Barrios-Paoli and Department of Homeless Services (DHS) Commissioner Gilbert Taylor to reduce by half the number of families at Freedom House, a homeless shelter for adult families on West 95th Street in Manhattan. Freedom House currently serves 400 adults in two residential buildings on West 95th Street.
Under the agreement, the shelter population will be reduced to 200 adults by November 1st, 2014 as part of an effort to create a better environment for shelter clients, building tenants and the surrounding community.
In 2012, DHS sited Freedom House as an emergency contract agreement in two residential buildings that were also home to 71 tenants in rent-stabilized units. The shelter is operated by Aguila Inc., a Bronx-based nonprofit that moved their offices to the Upper West Side when the shelter opened.
"With homelessness in the City at record highs and shelter costs through the roof, I'm gratified that City Hall has agreed to focus on long-term planning instead of the use of emergency procurement to operate shelters," Manhattan Borough President Gale A. Brewer said. "The shelters at West 95th Street are emblematic of the problem with emergency contracts that are extended without community input or adequate oversight. We all need to work together to find solutions that take into account neighborhood views, the dignity and safety of our homeless, and the City's budgetary needs."

As part of the agreement, the Administration also committed to an ongoing dialogue around the way homeless services are delivered in New York City. The City pays over $3,000 per unit in many locations to provide shelter and social services in Single Room Occupancy (SRO) buildings, appealing to landlords who seek out lucrative city contracts. This money could instead be used to help subsidize rents, which would save the City money while putting homeless families on the path to self-sufficiency. The agreement to reduce the number of adult families at Freedom House will open up at least 100 units that could be used as affordable housing for low- to moderate-income New Yorkers.
The Manhattan Borough Board will meet Thursday, April 17, 2014, at 8:30 A.M., at the Safe Horizon Manhattan Child Advocacy Center, 1753 Park Ave., 2nd Floor, New York, N.Y. The meeting will include a vote on a resolution supporting Int. No. 1183, a Local Law to amend the administrative code of the City of New York, in relation to after-hours work authorization.
Part of aggressive legislative agenda
Manhattan Borough President Gale A. Brewer on April 10 co-sponsored bills to protect street trees from construction (Int. 268-2014) and reserve spaces in public parking facilities for car-sharing programs (Int. 267-2014) – part of an aggressive legislative agenda since taking borough-wide office.
The two bills introduced today were co-sponsored with Council Member Rosie Mendez and were re-introductions of legislation Brewer first introduced while in the council. Under the City Charter, the borough president can introduce legislation in partnership with a Council Member, and the bill's list of sponsors includes the notation "by request of the Manhattan Borough President."
Since January, Brewer has co-sponsored 22 bills and one resolution – two have passed, including expanded paid-sick leave legislation and a law to protect unpaid interns from harassment, the latter co-sponsored with Council Member James Vacca.
Other bills that have been introduced include expanding the number of accessible pedestrian signals for the vision-impaired to improve traffic safety, requiring agency inspection and correction for multiple-unit dwellings with dangerous violations, and prohibiting employment discrimination based on an individual's status as a caregiver.
"My top priority has always been improving the quality of life for all New Yorkers, and as borough president I will continue in that vein both via the traditional powers of the office and by advancing legislation that serves New Yorkers," Brewer said.
Brewer has also announced plans to introduce legislation to reform the landmarking process to help protect buildings that are part of the City's heritage.
Last I checked, the Mayor was still in charge of New York City Public Schools. It would be a mistake for Albany to disregard its own laws by forcing the City to provide public space for all charters or else require the DOE to pay charter rent for private space. Our City doesn't benefit from Albany's meddling; it can only breed resentment and the vast majority of New Yorkers will not stand for it.If Albany truly wanted to be helpful, it would make funding available to alleviate overcrowding and support class size reduction. In too many Manhattan school districts, pre-k seats have been eliminated to make room for kindergarten seats; and, year after year, class sizes continue to rise. New York City must have the ability to determine best uses for our public school buildings without intervention from Albany.
(Below: BP Brewer speaks out against the mandatory co-location of charter schools, at a rally on the steps of Tweed Courthouse, March 27, 2014.)
Unpaid interns deserve protections against harassment, which is why I am proud to have co-sponsored today's City Council bill to unsure they enjoy the full protection of the New York City Human Rights Law. In more than 30 years of public service, I have had over 1,000 interns. They have been invaluable – and we should value them in turn.Background:BP Brewer first introduced the interns protection bill in December 2013, while a member of the New York City Council.Her March 17 testimony in support of the current bill is here.
Additional legislation:
BP Brewer also co-sponored several bills at the Council's March 26 meeting.
Int. 205-2014 – with Council Member Lancman: Requiring hotels to provide their housekeeping staff with silent alarms for their protection.
Int. 215-2014 – with Council Member Levine: Requiring biographical information regarding street and park renamings to be posted online.
Int. 216-2014 – with Council Member Levine: Expanding the number of accessible pedestrian signals for the vision-impaired to improve traffic safety.
Int. 219-2014 – with Council Member Mendez: Creating a bicycle safety task force.
Int. 220-2014 – with Public Advocate James, and Council Members Mendez and Chin: Requiring agency inspection and correction for multiple-unit dwellings with dangerous violations.
Int. 222-2014 – with Council Member Mendez and Public Advocate James: Requring 72-hour prior notice to tenants for non-emergency repairs.
Int. 223-2014 – with Council Member Mendez: Creation of an annual report to assess the City's indigent legal representation.
Education, housing, and transportation are the top three budget priorities according to a Manhattan Borough Board survey – with responses from all 12 Community Boards and nearly every zip code in Manhattan.
"As the City sets its FY 2015 budget, Manhattan residents surveyed expressed deep concern over the City's looming budget challenges – not least of which are preparing our schoolchildren for the 21st century economy, ensuring there is enough affordable housing so Manhattan doesn't become a borough of the 1 percent, and improving our faltering public transportation," said Borough President Gale A. Brewer. "Our goals are clear. Let's work to achieve them."
The survey results are included in the Manhattan Borough Board Budget Priorities Report for Fiscal Year 2015, approved at this month's borough board meeting and submitted to the Mayor, City Council, and Director of Management and Budget.
Additional pressing concerns of the Borough President's office include the state of the City's physical infrastructure – a problem highlighted by this month's deadly explosion in East Harlem – as well as the impact of the City's expired labor contracts and continued effects of the recent recession on social services and employment.

Respondents were asked to rate priorities in terms of overall importance on scale of 1 to 5. With 425 responses, the results were:
- K-High School Education (75%)- Affordable Housing (70%)- Public Transportation (69%)- Youth Services (67%)- Public Infrastructure (64%)- Parks (62%)- Human / Social Services (62%)- Public Health (59%)- Higher Education (58%)- Senior Services (58%)- Pre-K Education (56%)- Economic / Business Development (54%)- Homeless Services (54%)- Technology Infrastructure (47%)- Cultural Affairs (47%)

Instructional Objective The learner will be able to classify cards using rules associated with task level.
Learners/Context The learners are children ranging from age three to six attending child development centers.
Teachers and children will use the card game to reinforce skills ranging from level one to level 6 in classification. The card games are introduced to children at small group-time or individualized time when the teacher is working with the child during a one-to-one tutorial time.
Since it is possible to play the card game at different levels, the teacher can increase the challenge at the child's developmental level.
Rationale The card game is a fun way to reinforce classification skills. When played in small groups the children will learn from each other which is less threatening to the child than using the teacher directed activities where the child is expected to respond to questions.
This activity can become an extended activity played without the teacher once the children learn to play the game.
Rules There are 52 cards.
The object of the game is to classify cards using rules associated with the task level. The winning child must verbally describe winning hand.
Level 1- The learner will classify cards by one descriptive characteristic.
i.e. color (all cards are the same color)
Level 2- The learner will classify cards by more than one descriptive character. i.e. color and shape (These are all red circles.)
Level 3- The learner will classify cards by using term "not" (three cards are the same with at least one different)
i.e. All of these cards are blue but these two are not.
Level 4- The learner will classify cards by quantatative comparisons: "some" and "all". i.e. These are all shapes but some are circles.
(at least three must be the same)
Level 6- The learner will clasify cards using more than one descriptive characteristic using "and". i.e. These are blue squares and these are blue circles. (must have a match of 3 and two to win)
To play the game: 1. Choose a dealer . The teacher may want to deal the first time to demonstrate to the child what to do.
2. Shuffle the cards.
3. Dealer gives each child five cards. Turn one card face up and place it next to the remaining cards stacked in the deck in the center of the playing area.
4. The child to the right of the dealer goes first. They must take the face card or choose from the deck. They must give up one card, putting the card on top of the face card each time it is their play.
5. The next player can take the new face card or choose from the deck. Continue in this manner giving each child a turn.
6. Play until someone wins.
7. The child must make a match according to level playing. (levels 1 & 2- all cards match, levels 3, 4, 6 - 3 of a kind and 2 of a kind or 4 of a kind and 1 not a match. The child who completes matching set(s) first is the winner. They must have 0 cards left to win.
Card Design
There are 52 cards:
four different shapes - 8 each, 5 in one color and 3 in another color
Ten with animal pictures, 7 bears and 3 elephants
Ten flowers - 7 in one color and 3 in another color
Design Process Age of participants was my first consideration. Initially I was thinking of an adult audience using a card game to reinforce skills learned from training. Then I decided to design something for the children at the center where I am the administrator. I decided to make the audience general for use at any center with children.
The next consideration was content area. I wanted a progressive level of challenge that children seemed to enjoy doing even if they weren't playing a game. So, I chose classification. Children automatically begin to classify objects at a certain level of development so it wouldn't be a forced task which would make the game more enjoyable.
My difficulty was using the same deck of cards for each level. It was easy for levels 1, 2, and 3, but levels 4 and 6 could have changed decks by using more variety in card design. To keep it simple, I chose to use one deck of cards.
I chose not to use level 5 which is the discovery level for classification because I would need to change the format of the game so I left it out. The children would have to come up with this level in the game for themselves since they are to discover their own categories of classification matches.

Potted greens are a good complement to greens in the hoop house soil.
Create more than 12,000 different healthy salad dressings using this App.
This spring, try more interesting salads with spicy, crunchy, and colorful greens.
Ira Wallace talks about heirloom grinding corns that provide resilience and sustenance to gardener i...
Corn salads — also known as mâches — are unusual salad crops because they are very cold-hardy and grow best during the fall and winter. Two features of golden corn salad elevate it above the common mâche now sold in many supermarkets: its intensely nutty flavor and its ornamental possibilities for edible landscaping. The nutty flavor suggests a hint of toasted peanuts or even tahini; some people detect a trace of walnuts or hazelnuts.
The first time I saw this intriguing plant was in a southern England garden on a frosty January morning. There it was carpeting the border of a pathway, intermingled with variegated winter cress and Viola labradorica. The contrast between the brilliant chartreuse-green of the corn salad and the dusty purple leaves of the viola was stunning, more so since the viola was in full bloom. Better yet, both were edible — a winter salad waiting to happen.
Golden corn salad is a plant indigenous to much of the Mediterranean, and it can be found in the wild even in Switzerland. Botanically speaking, golden corn salad (Valerianella eriocarpa) is a "first cousin" of common green corn salad (V. locusta or V. olitoria).
In France, the golden type is generally referred to as mâche d'Italie (Italian corn salad).
It was not until the early 1800s that people began to cultivate it in gardens. We call it corn salad not because it is related to American corn, but because in England long ago, wheat fields were called "corn fields," and that is where the plant often grew.
In the 1920s, French horticulturist Desiré Bois was one of the first to give this plant more than passing attention, recommending it highly and noting that there is a subvariety called "lettuce-leaved" golden corn salad because it resembles a dwarf head of lettuce.
Unfortunately, I do not think this lettuce-leaved golden corn salad is available in the United States. But you can push the more common golden corn salad to grow larger. If individual plants are placed about 6 inches apart, rather than planting them by broadcasting the seed, you will get nice, large and bushy salad greens of the most succulent texture.
The leaves of golden corn salad are much longer and larger than the common mâche leaves, so when the two are side by side, there is no mistaking one for the other. Because of the greens' nutty flavor, I recommend using cold-pressed peanut oil or a sesame oil, or even pricey hazelnut oil in any dressing you prepare.
Growing it is fairly simple, although I would consider it a bit too tender for overwintering in any part of the United States colder than Zone 6. The most common method of cultivation is to broadcast the seed on a plot of well-prepared ground in mid-August or early September.
By October, young plants should be well-established and able to survive the rigors of winter, which they do very well in my Zone 6 Pennsylvania garden. The salad then can be harvested all winter long. Late the following spring, the plants bolt and run to seed.
After the plants are mature and begin dropping their tiny white seeds, just pull them up and stuff them upside-down into brown paper bags. Date and label the bags and set them aside in a cool, dry place for a month or so — until the plants are brittle. Then shake the seeds loose into the bottom of the bag and put them away in envelopes in a tightly closed jar.
Date your seeds carefully — if you store them in a cool, dark closet, they should remain viable for up to three years. In early spring or fall, you can plant the seeds the same time you would plant spinach; make additional sowings every two to three weeks. Since it is more heat tolerant than common corn salad, the golden corn salad does not bolt as quickly either. Thus it can be planted later in the spring for a harvest of greens well into early summer.
The following recipe is intended to be adjustable to many tastes and preferences; the important thing is to use a dressing that accentuates the fresh ingredients you have selected. I prefer hazelnut oil, but that is only one of several good choices. Experiment with other nut oils to find your favorite. (By the way, the hazelnut dressing also is excellent over potato salad.)
Keep in mind that all varieties of corn salad are delicate, so add the dressing just before you serve the greens; otherwise the vinegar may cause them to wilt.
My list of optional ingredients is such that you can add one or two, or all of them, depending on how filling you want the salad to be.
6 ounces (about 8 cups) golden corn salad, or a mix of golden corn salad and chopped spinach
Optional ingredients:1 to 2 cups diced croutons (plain, with no extra flavorings) 1/4 cup chopped toasted walnutsDressing (see recipe below)For garnish, 2 ounces thinly sliced ham or half a small Italian Sopressata sausageAlso, small pansies, violas or violets
Put the salad greens in a deep work bowl, add the croutons and toasted walnuts. Add the dressing and toss the ingredients gently but thoroughly. Put this in a serving bowl and garnish with bits of the paper-thin ham or Sopressata, and small, edible flowers from your garden.
I promise you, there will be no leftovers.
1/4 teaspoon saltFreshly ground pepper to taste, preferably coarse-ground1 tablespoon white wine vinegar5 tablespoons hazelnut, walnut, sesame or peanut oil1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (a mix of chervil, chives and parsley works well)
Put the salt, pepper and vinegar in a mixing bowl. Whisk until the salt is dissolved. Add the oil and fresh herbs, and whisk again until all the ingredients are emulsified. Then pour over the salad and serve immediately. Serves 4 to 6.

STEUBENVILLE — Despite frigid temperatures and heavy snow expected later in the afternoon, about 200 turned out Saturday for the third protest rally held by Anonymous, an Internet activist group....
"Gathered outside the Jefferson County Courthouse, the crowd included some wearing the Guy Fawkes masks"
Anyone want to bet they don't even know who Guy Fawkes was?

"A demand for justice in the Steubenville rape case also will be the focus of a flash mob event at 12:15 p.m. Thursday at the courthouse staged by V-Day Akron."
If it's advertised ahead of time, how can it be a 'flash' mob?

"The design is precious. I can use it on stationary, gift tags, and most recently graduation cards. I received the stickers within a couple days. The product Tinyprints provides cannot compare to other similar products on the Internet. The price is excellent !!!!"
"I am having a child-like adults-only game night for my 30th birthday, and all my decor is dots and stripes. I wanted to hand out little favor bags [like for kids' parties] with miniature liquor bottles, so I was looking for some that matched my theme. Luckily, I came across these gift tags & the proportions were perfect to make my own little booze bottles (which ended up saving me money!). Because of the large area on the tags, I was able to turn them into a little thank you cards while still including my party info on them. I am extremely pleased with the end result, and the bottles look exactly as I wanted them to."
"This was a perfect sticker to attach to card stock to create a label for a Bridal Shower. The top line read, "Life is Sweet". Below it we put in the couple's first names followed by the date of the wedding. Then we punched a hole in the upper right corner and with ribbon attached the label to jars of local honey. It was fitting since we hired a local baker to demonstrate cupcake decoration and served filled and decorated gourmet cupcakes at the Bridal Shower. Working with Tiny Prints was a joy. Our guests raved about the design and use of the label. It could be used for birthday parties, anniversary celebrations and other important events where sweet rule!"
"These are beautiful and perfect for favors! I absolutely LOVE this design. My only issue is that you can't fit too many words on it. I had to really condense what I wanted to say on them! Other than that, they are wonderful:)"
"I was concerned about possible quality of sticker So ordered the minimum. Will definitely be ordering more. I deviated from recommended font and chose one that's a tad small but overall a very pretty and soft looking design!"

Prof. Ivan K. Schuller, of the Physics Department and the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) at the University of California-San Diego, is a Solid State Physicist. A fellow of the American Physical Society and a member of the Chilean, Spanish and Belgian Academy of Sciences, he has won many awards such as the American Physical Society's Wheatley (1999) and Adler Awards (2003) and the German von Humbold Prize (2002). Recently he has received the Materials Research Society Medal (2004), the Lawrence Award from the US Department of Energy (2005), and received a Honoris Causa Doctorate (2005) from Universidad Complutense, in Madrid, Spain. He has published more than 450 technical papers and 20 patents, has given more than 300 invited lectures at international conferences and is one of the 100 most cited physicists (out of 500,000) in the last 15 years. He has given numerous public lectures in museums and on television about science to young and old.
Prof. Schuller has extensive expertise in the high technology area. He is the head of a group of more than 25 researchers (students and postdocs) in the Physics Department, focusing their attention on the basic research of nanostructured materials (http://ischuller.ucsd.edu). As the Director of the DARPA-funded Multidisciplinary Research Initiative (MURI) on Integrated Nanosensors, he leads a group of more than 40 physicists, chemists, bio-chemists and engineers focusing on the development of multiple nanosensors on a chip, with integrated power, limited computation and wireless communications. As one of the founders of the California Institute of Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) he was the leader of the Materials and Devices Layer (http://matdev-calit2.ucsd.edu) and is currently in charge of the Nano3@Calit2 (Nanoscience, Nanoengineering, Nanomedicine) clean room facility at Calit2. He has also some participation on a variety of Nanomedicine activities mostly dedicated to Nanocancer, funded by National Institute of Health (NIH). He has been a consultant to a variety of governmental commissions and national laboratories in the US, Latin America and Europe and to many commercial enterprises in the high technology area.
His artistic activities are centered on television and theater. On UC-TV Guestbook, Prof. Schuller has interviewed notable scientists such as the Nobel laureates Sir Harold Kroto and Walter Kohn. He also produced and moderated the Copenhagen Event, in which scientists, actors and historians discussed the famous play "Copenhagen" by Michael Frayn. Recently he produced a movie titled "When Things Get Small" on nanoscience (http://www.ucsd.tv/getsmall/), which won two Telly Awards in 2006. In addition, he has established a TV production enterprise "Not Too Serious Labs," in collaboration with the TV producer Rich Wargo, dedicated to popularizing science. He produced the play "Copenhagen" of Michael Frayn in Chile (http://ischuller.ucsd.edu/copenhague/) and has appeared as a guest lecturer in the Magic Theater production of the "Quantum Leaps" (http://www.corante.com/brainwaves/archives/2005/07/). More recently, he has co-written a play entitled "Transistor Shock" based on the life of William Shockley, one of the co-inventors of the transistor. Based on his earlier theater studies in Chile, the "hilarious Prof. Schuller" believes that being a physicist is "as much fun, but way easier than being an actor."

Problem: Client printers (printers either directly attached to your remote workstation, or network accessible printers) do not map when you establish a Remote Desktop Connection to a Cloud Server. Cause: This can be caused by driver mismatches, client settings, server configuration settings, or user profile settings in Active Directory. Resolution: You will need to update printer drivers, check the Local Resources configuration for your Remote Desktop Services, and check Active Directory user permissions (if applicable).
2. Ensure that Remote Desktop has client printers set to map. To do this:
3. Ensure that the Terminal Services Configuration (2003 R2 and 2008) and the Remote Desktop Services Configuration (2008 R2) allows for client printer mapping.
4. Ensure that the Active Directory user profile has rights to map client printers during login.

In the heady days of the Gene Robinson-led City Hall, Anniston labored through the process that eventually led to the hiring of Don Hoyt, who is retiring this year. Resumes and interviews led the council to zero in on its top candidate, Richard Finn of New York.
Finn had strong credentials, 25 years of experience as a city manager in four different communities across the United States. He began contract negotiations with a salary range between $90,000 and $120,000 a year. The job, apparently, was his.
Depending on who you listened to — Finn or Anniston's quirky former council — talks soured over money. The council said Finn asked for more, perhaps as much as $135,000 a year, plus perks. Finn said negotiations were continuing and he was unaware that the council had moved on to another candidate. The back-and-forth between the council and its top candidate was as comical as it was depressing.
It was so Anniston 2009.
That narrative is prescient today as a reminder of what's at stake for the Stewart City Hall as it seeks Hoyt's successor. The electoral change the swept over Gurnee Avenue in 2012 sucked out much of the dysfunction and put in place a leadership group that's more professional and, in this case, better able to represent the city in its dealings with out-of-town candidates vying for six-figure management positions.
In other words, Annistonians should expect Mayor Vaughn Stewart and this council to avoid the worst pitfalls that led to Finn's departure four years ago. (Two top candidates have already withdrawn from consideration, however.)
That said, we can't help but wonder what type of candidate — strong, out-front leader or consensus-builder — the council selects. The finalists offer an array of possibilities that should provide what the council members desire.
Hoyt had the unfortunate luck of having to work a majority of his time in Anniston with a rag-tag group of political misfits who couldn't screw in a lightbulb without causing a scene. For Hoyt, and for Anniston, that's too bad.
Today's reality says Anniston needs every hand on deck in terms of leadership. Weak links are exposed. As such, the decision facing the council isn't merely a routine hire. It's a decision to implant another person on the city's management team. May the best candidate win.

The Chicago Bears have agreed to terms with free-agent offensive lineman Matt Slauson.
Slauson (6-5, 315) is a former sixth-round draft pick (193rd overall) of the New York Jets in the 2009 NFL Draft. He has started every regular-season game for the Jets (48 total) over the last three seasons, all at left guard.
"We are excited that Matt will be a Bear," Bears General Manager Phil Emery said in the team's press official press release. "He brings physical play and smarts to the offensive guard position and to the offensive line as an overall unit. His size, strength and power will allow him to challenge for either of the starting guard positions."
This move comes fewer than 48 hours after the Bears lost Lance Louis to the Miami Dolphins. Slauson will likely be penciled in as the starting left guard, considering his experience and overall high level of play.
Slauson (27 years old) is a bit taller than most offensive guards and cannot get the same type of leverage in the run game as some of his shorter, rounder counterparts. As such, he won't be a mauler as a run blocker, yet in pass protection, Slauson is solid. According to Pro Football Focus, he was the 20th best pass-blocking guard in the league in 2012, three spots behind Louis, and allowed just one sack.
Before the start of free agency, the Bears were rumored to have interest in Slauson's former teammate, guard Brandon Moore. Instead, Chicago landed a player five years younger and many millions cheaper.
Continuing with the recent trend, Emery signed Slauson to a one-year deal. If it's worth substantially more than the veteran minimum ($715,000), I'll eat my shoe.

User Identity Verification in ADSelfService Plus
ADSelfService Plus is a secure, web-based, end user password reset management program. With ADSelfService Plus, end users can perform various simple yet important tasks like: Password reset, Account Unlock, Self-update and much more, without any assistance from helpdesk personnel.
Need for Identity Verification
Allowing end users to reset their password or unlock their account carries a certain amount of risk, as it increases the possibility of an attack from a malicious user. To ensure that only the intended users are allowed access to the self-service password reset/account unlock application, users need to prove their identity. An attacker can gain access to user accounts if strong identity verification procedures are not deployed.
Identity Verification via SMS/E-mail based Two-factor Authentication
ADSelfService Plus provides enhanced security when end users perform Windows Active Directory Password Reset/Account Unlock through two-factor authentication, a system that makes it much harder for hackers to capture valid credentials of a user account. The two-factors are:
To prove his identity, a user has to enter the correct verification code that he received through SMS/e-mail and/or answer the set of predefined Security Questions. Only after establishing his identity, the user will be able to reset his password or unlock his account.
Identity Verification via Two-factor Authentication- How it works?
Basic Security Checks:
The Identity Verification process starts when the user accesses the ADSelfService Plus application and clicks on the Reset Password or Unlock Account link. The user is asked to enter his username and the select the domain he belongs to. ADSelfService Plus server performs a series of security checks in the background which establishes the user's identity.
Two-factor Authentication:
SMS/E-mail based Verification Code Check
Once the initial security checks are completed, and if found to be successful, the user is allowed to proceed to the next step in which he chooses either his Mobile Number or E-mail id to receive the verification code. ADSelfService Plus server sends a one-time verification code via SMS/E-mail based on the user's choice. Once the user enters the correct verification code, he is allowed to proceed further.
If the user fails to produce the correct verification code for 'x' number of times, the user will be blocked from using the ADSelfService Plus Reset Password/Unlock Account feature for a specific period of time. ADSelfService Plus administrators can define the threshold for unsuccessful attempts and also the lockout period.
Security Q & A Check
To add more muscle to the Identity Verification process, ADSelfService Plus also incorporates Security Questions and Answers to successfully establish a user's identity. A user enrolls with ADSelfService Plus by answering a series of Security Questions. The answers are stored securely using encrypted formats in the ADSelfService Plus database. The user is asked the same set of Security Questions answered by the user in the enrollment phase during the Identity Verification process. The answers provided by the user are compared with the answers stored in the ADSelfService Plus database. When all the Security Questions are answered correctly, the user is allowed to reset his password/unlock his account.
If the user provides incorrect answer(s) to the Security Question(s) 'x' number of times, the user will be blocked for a specific period of time just like in the previous step.
E-mail Notification upon Password Self-Service:
The user receives an e-mail notification from ADSelfService Plus server about the Reset Password/Account Unlock event, if it has been enabled by the ADSelfService Plus administrator. The e-mail notification acts as an alert in case of an unauthorized Reset Password/Unlock Account event and allows the user to react and prevent further damage.

Black sea bass (Centropristes striatus) is a salt water fish that ranges in the Atlantic coastal waters, from northern Florida to Cape Cod. In Maryland, they are found in the inland bays and in the ocean out to 70 fathoms (420 feet), depending on the season of the year. They appear on the inshore wrecks and reefs during the first or second week in May and withdraw back to the continental shelf in early November. Some of the population combines the offshore movement with a slight southerly migration to offshore Virginia and North Carolina, as they prefer temperatures higher than 46-47 degrees.
When black sea bass are inshore, they prefer structure and are most plentiful on live bottom, around wrecks and the pilings of bridges and wharves. They are bottom feeders, and subsist primarily on crabs, shrimp, mollusks, small fish and squid. They are very aggressive feeders and will readily take a baited hook. As their name indicates, they are usually black when removed from the water but in the water they give the appearance of being barred with longitudinal stripes.
Black sea bass spawn from the middle of May to the end of June and are protogenous hermaphrodites. This means that they have the ability to change their sex. Most sea bass are females until they are 10 inches long and then they change to males. During the mating season the males develop a hump on their forehead and develop strikingly beautiful cobalt blue and teal marking on the edges of their fins.
Black sea bass in our area generally grow to a maximum weight of 5 pounds, but mature fish average about 1˝ pounds. In Maryland, in 2003, the minimum size is 12 inches. A 12 inch fish weighs about one pound, and is 3 years old.
Because they are mostly caught in the United States Exclusive Economic Zone, (EEZ) more than 3 miles offshore, and they migrate between states, management of the species is done cooperatively by coastal regulation. The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission working in concert with the Mid Atlantic Fisheries Management Council provide management regulations. The black sea bass fishery management plan was initially put together in 1996 because the stock was overfished and at a low level of abundance.
As part of the plan, in 1999, the minimum size for recreational harvest of black sea bass was increased from 9 to 10 inches. As most of the females are less than 10 inches, the effect was to protect all the females and reproduction responded immediately. Adult stocks grew and reproduction has been very good since then. The Maryland Coastal Bays Finfish Investigation Project catches juvenile black sea bass in its trawl and seine surveys. As evidence of improved reproduction, young of the year black sea bass are being captured in increasing numbers in the samples.
For the 2001 fishing season, the minimum size was increased from 10 inches to 11 inches and for the 2002 fishing season the minimum size was increased to 11.5 inches. In 2003, the minimum size was again increased to 12 inches, with a 25 fish creel limit and closed seasons from September 2 to 15 and the month of December. The size increases have been great for recreational fishing. Black sea bass have a very low natural mortality; as the minimum sizes have been increased, the fish have grown into the size limits. The results are that we have some of the best black sea bass fishing off the coast of Maryland that we have had in many years.
While fisheries managers are relatively confident that the stocks of black sea bass are improving, the magnitude of that improvement is not precisely known. Most finfish surveys done along the Atlantic coast are trawl surveys, where a net is dragged along the bottom and the fish that are caught are counted and measured. Black sea bass inhabit rocks and structure that cannot be sampled by trawl surveys. The National Marine Fisheries Service started a coastal tagging study of the black sea bass population along the coast in the fall of last year. Maryland biologists and members of the Maryland Saltwater Sportfishermen's Association went out on the Ocean Princess from Ocean City and tagged 1130 fish in one day to help with this survey. The fish were tagged with tags that promise a reward of a hat or $100, depending on the tag, to whomever catches the tagged fish and sends the tag to the NMFS for their reward. The objective is to be able to better estimate the number of fish and the total fishing mortality rate along the coast and manage the stock more precisely.
Fishing for black sea bass can be a very pleasant experience. There are several head boats operating out of Ocean City that take fishermen to the offshore wrecks for a reasonable fee ($30-$70 per trip). They supply bait (usually squid) and rent rods for another small fee. Some fishermen bring along small crabs and plastic worms put on the hook with the squid to attract larger fish. Generally anglers use a regular boat rod or a stout spinning rod. Black sea bass are very aggressive feeders and if you are in the right place they are most surely ready to bite.
After a successful fishing trip, you will find that black sea bass are very good on the table. The meat is very white and has a unique taste. Pan cooking them with butter and lemon pepper is a good start. Black sea bass fishing is expected to be very good this year so you may want to get out and give it a try.

In my opinion, the order should go: 1. Boosters, 2. Alumni who aren't boosters, 3. Upperclassmen, 4. All other registered students, 5. Fans. It's ridiculous someone who lives in a college town who has never attended the university, and just wants to go watch a football game, gets precedence over those who are shelling out thousands to attend that University. If I'm wrong, please correct me.
When it comes to tickets to LSU football, freshmen students get the scraps. Upperclassmen and the public get the first crack, forcing freshmen to sometimes resort to scalping tickets to get entry to Tiger Stadium. A Louisiana state representative is not a fan of the current system, calling it a "crime" that freshmen students pay as much as $300 for scalped tickets.
State Rep. Terry Brown has introduced a bill that would require the LSU Board of Supervisors to offer incoming freshmen tickets to all home games.
"LSU should be ashamed of themselves for doing the students that way. It's about fairness. All I'm asking is for those children, students who made the score to get into the flagship university, (to be) allowed the privilege of sitting in Tiger Stadium…
"Legislators are allowed to buy (tickets). Governmental officials are allowed to buy them. So why not students that attend the university?"
With a current maximum capacity of about 92,000 and with more than 30,00 students, "the math becomes the problem here," said LSU Associate Vice Chancellor for Communications Herb Vincent. The student section seats 14,600.
One thing that could help solve part of the problem – a planned expansion of Tiger Stadium that will push total capacity to nearly 100,000.
While the push is on expanding the availability of student tickets at LSU, Georgia recently cut its allotment of student tickets by more than 2,000.
Texas A&M reportedly has the largest percentage of student seats in a collegiate stadium. The Aggies make roughly 30,000 tickets available to students.
The news on LSU tickets comes on the same day the university has been certified by the National Center For Spectator Sports Safety and Security. The organization is attempting to set a standard for safety at sporting events. LSU is the fourth SEC school to be certified, joining Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Texas A&M.
